Last evening television viewers in Arizona were treated to an unexpected bonus cable show: Soundless hardcore porn in lieu of Tom Brokaw. It seems that someone zipped the cable feed of KPPX-TV (carried by Cox Communications' cable net) and replaced it with a pornographic movie.. Cox says that it was a 'source issue'; ION Television (the parent company of KPPX-TV, Mesa, Arizona) says that someone sabotaged their feed, and they've started hunting for the perpetrator.

If nothing else, zipping's come a long way from a guy in a rubber mask being spanked with a flyswatter.
